Follicuar Neoplasm   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1979 of 2208 |
My mom has a follicular neoplasm and the surgeon wants to remove it but
of course she just wants to keep waiting because she does not want a
scar. It does not bother her so she really doesn't care. She's had 2 ct
scans so far and it is slowlt getting bigger. Is there any test that
she can have done to test it if is cancerous ? I read someone had a
needle biopsy done and they could tell by it if it is cancerous...is
that correct ? and I've heard other stories that they can't tell till
they go in take it out and test it. I'm a bit confused. I only want
what is bested for my mom. She had a needle biobsy done but they didn't
say if it was or wasn't cancer. Can they really tell ?
